Hello, I'm Hippeus. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Donald Luskin, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Hippeus (talk) 11:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I believe that you are in error by deleting the editorial addition: "Donald Luskin is a frequent guest on Fox News, where he has been credited as an economist. Luskin does not hold a college degree".

The sentence added is a statement of fact. Donald Luskin is a frequent guest speaker on Fox News, where he has been described as "Economist" next to his name on the banner below his "talking head" video feed. Regarding Luskin's lack a college degree, that fact is based on Luskin's own blog, "The Conspiracy to Keep You Poor and Stupid." (February 16, 2003), and is further referenced in the Wikipedia section that begins with the sentence: On his former blog, Luskin stated he "attended Yale in 1973–1974; dropped out to rejoin the real world as soon as possible."[4]

I am not sure why you repeatedly delete the factually based sentences, which has been appropriately cited to the source of the facts contained in those two sentences which were added.

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Donald Luskin. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 12:59, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Donald Luskin. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Materialscientist (talk) 13:03, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

• Please take this to Talk:Donald Luskin. You originally added this without a source. With https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Luskin&diff=956262126&oldid=956261559 this edit] you did add a source all be it an archived copy (2007) of the subject's former blog. The content doesn't exactly match the source. I would prefer to see a better source for such information, but I agree that my warning was in error given that this does have a source (all be it not a god one - an archived copy of www.poorandstupid.com/about.asp (blog of subject). I am striking my warning. Please take this to talk, and try finding a better source if possible. Framing the edit positively (e.g. attended Yale 1973-4, did not graduate because "quote") would be better editorially as well. --Hippeus (talk) 13:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I assume everything here is covered above. Just in case, I just now saw those responses.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:38, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
